Word to Text: free online, fast and secure
Copying from Word often brings hidden formatting, odd fonts and stray styles into emails, websites and apps. This tool extracts only the plain text from a .docx file, with paragraphs preserved and extra blank lines removed.
You also get the word and character count, and can copy the text with one tap or save it as a .txt file.
How to use Word to Text

Good to know
Office and data files come in many formats. XLSX is Excel’s modern workbook format with sheets and formatting. CSV is plain text with values separated by commas, perfect for imports. JSON and XML are structured formats used by apps and APIs, and Markdown is a simple way to write formatted text. Word to Text converts between these formats on your device, so business data such as customer lists, invoices and sales reports never leaves your computer.

How Word to Text keeps your documents and data files private
Most online converters upload your file to their server, process it there and send it back. That costs time, uses your data pack and means a copy of your file sits on someone else’s computer. Word to Text works differently: the page loads the tool into your browser, and your documents and data files are processed by your own phone or computer. The file never travels over the internet, so it cannot be leaked, stored or misused.

Word to Text is designed for small screens. Buttons are large, options are simple, and downloads save directly to your phone storage. On iPhone, downloaded files appear in the Files app under Downloads; on Android they go to the Downloads folder.
